Author Override: Gena Showalter

Author
Override is the place where authors take the reins and take you on a
journey into their world. Some may allow you into their private writing
dens. Others may take you along with them on research trips or
interviews. Whatever the case may be, sit back, relax and enjoy the
ride because here you’ll get an in-depth look into an author’s musings.

You know the name, yes Gena Showalter aka Superwoman! We cannot even
begin to tell you how much we love Gena Showalter, and we are so excited
to have her back at Under the Covers! Or actually, she's letting us get
some one on one time with Bad Boy # 1, William. With the release of
WICKED NIGHTS just around the corner, we thought we could bring you some
inside scoop into the hero of the LOTU spin-off, Zacharel, but well...
Just check out what happened...

You asked for it, and the editors of Dating the Undead
delivered. Sit back, relax, and read this candid one-on-one
conversation with the world’s most notorious immortal playboy, William
the Ever Randy.

But William,
tart-tongued narcissist that he is, refuses to admit defeat and wants a
chance to plead his case. And, well, curious girls that we are, we
wanted to know what he had to say. So, we sent our special
correspondent, Francesca Teeglesworth to the Realm of Blood and Shadows,
where William is currently residing with the Lords of the Underworld.

She conducted the interview in bed with him.

(Note from Francesca: What? Unlike William, I’m only human!)

Francesca:
Before I expound on and on about the angelic warrior Zacharel… who has
those glorious white and gold wings… and gives those smoldering
will-he-kill-me-or-kiss-me glances, let’s find out a little about you.
You’re a man who’s made no secret of the fact that he gets around. Word
is, you’ve slept with every species out there. So, we gotta know.
Who—or what—is the best?

William: Darling, anytime I’m with a
woman, I’m picturing my own face. So, really, when you think about it,
I’m the species I most enjoy shagging.

Francesca: Why am I not surprised?

William: Because ten minutes ago you were watching me picture my own face while I was shagging you.

Francesca (blushing): So, uh, yeah. If you could only take three items to a deserted island, what would you take?

William: A blond, a brunette, and a redhead.

Francesca: Sex before sustenance or survival, I guess.

William: I know. I’m smart like that. And look at you, learning about me so quickly.

Francesca: What will guarantee a woman a second date with you?

William
(laughing): What kind of crazy question is that? Seriously, darling.
Someone didn’t do her homework. I’ve never been on a second date with a
woman.

Francesca: But . . . why not?

William: Why eat the stale donut sitting on your nightstand when there’s a tastier one with sprinkles still waiting in the box?

Francesca:
O-kay. I’m one hundred percent convinced Zacharel is the man for me.
And speaking of the Big Z from Wicked Nights, who would win in a fight
between you two?

William: That depends. Will the fight take place in the skies or on the ground?

Francesca: Skies.

William: Well, how am I staying up there? Z has wings. I don’t.

Francesca: Fine. You’re on the ground.

William: Are there spectators or are we alone?

Francesca: What does it matter?

William: You might be surprised.

Francesca: You’re alone.

William: Impossible. Females are always following me.

Francesca: Never mind. Forget it. What can you tell me about Zacharel?

William: blah blah blah…cold…blah blah blah…heartless.

Francesca (dry tone): Wow. That was really lovely. Poetic, even.

William: Thanks. I read it in a fortune cookie or something.

Francesca:
That’s it. I’ll tell the readers about him and his book. Wicked
Nights is the story of Zacharel, the new leader of the Army of
Disgrace—heavenly warriors in danger of falling from grace—and
Annabelle, a human who has spent the last four years locked inside an
institution for the criminally insane. The ultra sexy, deliciously
edible Zacharel doesn’t have time for a distraction, but Annabelle
fascinates him in a way nothing else ever has. He decides he wants
her—but then, so does the demon chasing her. Let the battle begin.

William: Can’t say he does anything for me.

Francesca
(sighing dreamily): You know, Willy, that’s not the first time you were
wrong today. I was actually picturing Zacharel’s face while we were
shagging. But thanks for the interview.

William (sputtering)

Gena is graciously giving away a SIGNED copy of Wicked Nights!

Leader of the most
powerful army in the heavens, Zacharel has been deemed nearly too
dangerous, too ruthless--and if he isn't careful, he'll lose his wings.
But this warrior with a heart of ice will not be deterred from his
missions at any cost...until a vulnerable human tempts him with a carnal
pleasure he's never known before.Accused of a crime she did not commit,
Annabelle Miller has spent four years in an institution for the
criminally insane. Demons track her every move, and their king will stop
at nothing to have her. Zacharel is her only hope for survival, but is
the brutal angel with a touch as hot as hell her salvation--or her
ultimate damnation?

William: Why eat the stale donut sitting on your nightstand when there’s a tastier one with sprinkles still waiting in the box? --Lmao! Really William? REALLY!?! xD I just love this series!! thanks for the giveaway ladies and Gena! :D

Wow, that was a great interview! Thanks Ann for posting it in Showtime Girls! Trying to keep track of all the ones coming up? Scary!! ;) I'll post it on my Paranormal Addicts page today so you get some more folks out here... I definitely have to agree with your assessment that Zacharel is much better... William is a bit too cocky for me! ;) Not that I don't love all of Gena's worlds.. and technically I haven't read my copy of Wicked Nights yet so I can't promise I'd adore Zach yet... Actually The Nymph King is one of my all time favorites! :D

I am SUCH fan of Gena, recently I purchased the kobo bundle for the stone prince and pleasure slave, so now I have all but the newest booksThe cover is flat out sexy, and the interview was lovely. Gotta lovely William. LOTU is my favourite romance/urban fantasy series to dateThanks for the giveaway ^_^

HUGE fan of Gena Showalter. I'm kinda sorta REALLY obsessed with her yummy Lords of the Underworld series. Those guys are badass, so lovable and so addictive. I fell in love with Zacharel when he was introduced in the series so yes I'm DYING to get my hands on his book.

I would pretty much just about do ANYTHING to get my hands on a copy. Love me some Zacharel! ;P

I FLOVE William so much! He's one of the main reasons I can't let go of the LOTU series. Just love it when he and Anya go at it! So hilarious! Though I can't believe William would go to a deserted island without his conditioner! LOL

I LOVE William.. He is my all time faveorite character...EVER! I cannot wait for his book! I must say though, its looking like Zacharel may give William a "run for his money" LOL (Just dont tell William I said that though, LOL)

FUN interview...poor William, way to put him in his place though! Gena is one of my very FAVORITE authors and the LOTU is one of my FAVE series...I've been looking forward to this spin-off and can't wait to read Wicked Nights!! And that cover...H-A-W-T!!! Thx for this AWESOME giveaway op! :)
